Thank you all for the suggestions. I have removed the top layer, am exposing the buds below to light. They're large enough, just never saw light B4. I've lollipopped it twice already and there's two layers of netting, it just kept growing till it is a solid blanket. First time for two harvests...

I like well cured weed and when finished, I store in Mason jars and use a food saver vacuum attachment for Mason jars to remove the air. It seals up vacuum tight and I place them in a box for long term storage. The flat sides of the masons makes it easy to package & store, no moisture enters or...

Here's a new one for me & I'm not sure what to best do at this point: Sativa has been lollipopped twice and was in veg longer than usual. This one plant covers the entire 4x4 tent and has two layers of 6" netting. Looking at the trichromes it's finally ready to harvest and normally I'd have it...

And there is a tidal motion in every glass of water. Next you'll say the motion of that tide adds O2. You're a troll & I'm done with you.

Sometimes it's hard to determine what is ignorance vs sarcasm. "Do you think using a watering can adds oxygen?": No, a watering can does not provide oxygen. Some diffusion will happen to the droplets as they fall through the air. IF the water is oxygenated, YES the act of watering coco adds...

@ rkymtnman; Cough is correct. If you put a fish in collected distilled water it will die of suffocation. It's the O2 diffusing (diffusing is the operative word here) from the atmosphere into the H2O that provides the available O2 for a fish to breath. The O2 that's in H2O is a bonded, stable...

Yes. Thing is, that this is what I was doing by mixing the proportions for 2 gallons but adding more RO water and cutting it by 1/2 and it was still too excessive EC & though it's a ratio, the PPM was also tested too high still. If I were to reduced the base nutrients to less than 1/2 I'm sure...

I'm sure there is a different schedule but this is the only one I have. Perhaps it is time for me to find another one for sativa dominant. Based on the above suggestions of Ca deficient I have started feeding just the base, Si & the max suggested CA, not using the other adjuncts. That's...

One Hit, thanks for the reply. To answer your question; I was provided a chart (seen below) for Heavy 16 with Aptus Adjuncts. According to this chart, today in the 12th week (4 weeks left of bloom), in one gallon of water I would have: Botanicare Cal-Mag - 3 Mg (Not on the chart but CA-MG is...

Thank you all for your thoughts, I appreciate the help. I measured the runoff from yesterday and EC when mixed was 2.7, runoff = 3.1 pH when mixed was 6.0, runoff = 6.2 Of the 4 gallons at feed there is around 1.5 gallons runoff. I had been feeding at pH 6.0 but the runoff was in the upper 6's...

Ed & Cough, I haven't had pest issues before so I don't know what to look for other than webs which I haven't seen anywhere. I took one of the affected fans off & looked at it under the scope but saw no insects or signs of eggs or motion. I took more photographs of the leaf issue with the scope...

Hi, Cindy 99 in coco pro. 25 gal pot, LED, Par meter shows between 800-1000. Base nutrient Heavy 16. Water is mostly distilled, mix with tap to make 4 gallons/day The water has an aerator running to add O2. pH 5.5-6. EC 1.8-2.4 Humidity 50% Temp 75F Heavy 16 Bud A&B 30ML each/4 Gal PowerSi...

Hi, I'm getting close to needing to reorder Ecogen and will need startboost soon. I've been using the Ecogen line with Heavy 16 as base exclusively for several years and it's a wonderful product, just one that is just too expensive. I've already switched from Fasilitor to PowerSi Bloom and now...

Rahz, thank you, I appreciate that.

Good question. Under traditional lighting heat is always a concern. With LED lighting, they run so cool, heat isn't much of a factor. It's easy to get too much light with COBs and that is much more concerning to me, especially with early/mid Veg. I'd like to know what is the most that is good.

Hi! Some clarification if you would. I recently obtained an Apogee MQ-500 PAR meter with the upgraded sensor so I can finally get real answers regarding PAR and where to best place the plants/lights. I take the above to understand a PAR reading of 800-1100 is ideal for 12/12 bloom, with no...

Excellent ideas. Any suggestion of a decent (accurate) PAR meter? I can just buy one but I don't know if one brand/model is reliable & accurate. Thanks!

The fixtures are home made, COBs are CXB3590. 4 COBs are on one heatsink for 200W total. In Veg, the COBs are all 5000K and in Bloom, they're placed alternating as 3000K - 3500K - 3000K - 3500K on each fixture. In veg they have a 5000K dedicated similar source at the lowest power & with no light...

Sorry, been away and just got back. I tried getting some photos but none came out well with the lighting. But it definitely seems like the LEDs are burning the leaves. I see perfect green leaves just under bright yellow ones where the upper leaves prevented direct light. I had no idea the COBs...

I started the thread awhile back but still haven't found the answer yet. I am running 3 heatsinks, each has 4 CXB3590 I'm growing in a 4x4x7 enclosure with tips at least 1' away from any part of the plant. Even when keeping the power down to 150W per heatsink I am finding bleaching and browning...
